Kadans Science Partner, StartLife and Wageningen Campus are excited to welcome FUMI Ingredients to the startup community located in Plus Ultra II, the newest multi-tenant building on Wageningen Campus. FUMI Ingredient is moving into one of the spaces dedicated to agrifoodtech startups.
Established in 2019, FUMI Ingredients is an innovative foodtech start-up that focuses on alternative proteins that can replace proteins coming from chicken eggs. Their vegan proteins have a low CO2 footprint and are easy to produce without any expensive machines or chemicals. This makes the cost of production competitive with egg proteins. FUMI Ingredients protein also contains similar properties to egg proteins and contain a balanced, essential amino acid profile.
FUMI Ingredients chose Plus Ultra II for their new office because of its dynamic ecosystem, which allows the company to connect with other start-ups, scale-ups as well as nearby located corporates and research institutes. According to its co-founders, Corjan van den Berg and Edgar Suarez Garcia, the ability to rent a small office on campus, close to their laboratory, is also a huge advantage. “Wageningen Campus is just in many ways the most logical place to be for us,” says Corjan.
Plus Ultra II offers office and lab spaces to start-ups, scale-ups and established companies and organizations that want to contribute to a vibrant community concerning agri & food and a healthy living environment. Dedicated offices can also be rented on the first floor for tech start-ups in their next phase of development. On Wageningen Campus, knowledge institutions, the business sector and start-ups connect and exchange experiences. Additionally, any member of the community of Plus Ultra II can also benefit from the international network of science parks and campuses of Kadans.
